    Default 1100HD with CGEM DX



    Want to get a running start, so on Day 1 of doing AP I won't have the need to go shopping for something that I didn't get.

    My current shopping list:
    Celestron 1100HD on a CGEM DX mount.
    Ac-5mp.
    Weights, because I know it won't come with enough.
    Guidescope w/auto guide.
    Lens shade/dew shield.
    T-Adapter.
    T-Ring for Canon.
    11" dovetail bar.

    Anything that I missed on my shopping list. As I get closer, Powertank may find its way on my list.

    think about getting a a deep cycle battery instead of a powertank... deep cycle last longer and give more time to power your goods however it'll cost a bit more, but it'll worth every penny
